24th June and no Puzzle Agent yet

[oliversportfolio.com]

So when exactly are TTG going to release this game, I mean it is already the 24th of June and there isn't even a wink of hope that this game will be released in June, like they say.

That's the problem with TTG they give us, and you will all agree, excellent games but they always keep us in pitch black darkness about release dates.

Yeah they said June but you've got to be wondering if they are going to make it or not. Only six more days to go in June and as each day passes the window does too.

A proper dating system needs to be established OR the blog needs more posts with open and honest addresses for our forum based concerns. So say you or I post something like "when is the game going to be released? Is there now a static date for release?". Then TTG should go onto their blog and submit a new post answering our questions. Or at least release FAQ details.

Who agrees??

[Falanca]

Um, they do release the games in the given day. It's just the, you know, timezones and all that...

So I don't agree.

[SHODANFreeman]

They release things as soon as they are able to, and are generally pretty punctual with meeting deadlines, and I'm not the most impatient person in the world. Quality takes time, and if you don't want semi-vague release dates, I don't think episodic gaming is your cup of tea.

[taumel]

I guess i should demystify this one, actually it's quite simple:

Puzzle Agent will be available at the very same day, i'll decide buying the game. As i haven't been up to this so far, no Puzzle Agent. Maybe after i've played through e3 of Sam&Max, i'll be in the right mood, okay?

[NeatNit]

We'll be doing something special on the 25th, so check back with us on Friday!3char

[Avistew]

I disagree with you. The episodes have dates and respect them. The dates might be released on the late side, but that's not a problem as far as I'm concerned. This way they meet their dates.

[WarpSpeed]

You can always assume the game will be released in October, then be pleasantly surprised at how early they got it out.

[Zak]

Telltale seems to be really awful with letting fans know about release dates.


I'm always late on new S&M episodes, because I never have any way of knowing when one is about to come out.

They always post the release date on the blog the minute they know themselves. You should keep an eye on that, it's pretty interesting :)

Huh? They always give the date on the blog, and other gaming websites give it too. If you're wondering, it's easy enough to just look and it will be everywhere.
Plus they send you an email once it's out.

They release dates when they know and that is usually a week ahead. If you just check the blogs every once in a while you wouldent be late to the party.
Dont go blaming the company because you cant check every once in a while.

They announced the release date of episode 303 on June 10th (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-630), 12 days before it was released.

That's almost a full two week's notice.

[serializer]

Puzzle Agent is more of a minor release so they're probably not so worried about it, and doing more of a "it'll be out when it's ready" rather than announcing a deadline and then having to stress about it when they're right in the middle of another fairly major series. (And as cool as Puzzle Agent looks, I'm *way* more bothered about Sam and Max getting timely releases!)

That blog was about a charity from the Wallace and Gromit company.
I doubt Puzzle agent will be linked to that at all

I doubt if they've spent the time to make a fully functional game that works on 3 platforms, they wouldn't be "not so worried about it"

[TomPravetz]

Once again. They haven't even sent out the press releases yet, so chill your buns. It'll get here when it does. In the mean time, play S'n'M.

[Gman5852]

serializer means that this game is just a pilot unlike sam and max jurassic park and back to the future which are full seasons.
Yes telltale should care about it but still it is a pilot and besides as stated above they dont know the release date yet.
They are either waiting for nintendo to see if it can come out on wiiware this monday, or are just working on some final tweaks to make sure the game is good

Remember a delayed game will eventually become good, but a rushed game is bad forever.

[taumel]

I think TTG is pretty good when it comes to fulfilling their release dates and in all those years it has been very rare that they weren't able to. If you compare this to other companies, and although it's understandable that sometimes your earger to something, then you can be quite happy.

[TomPravetz]

I think Puzzle Agents has a slim chance of being the next Duke Nukem.

[Bloody Eugene]

I like the tension of not knowing the release date!
And btw TT is always perfect on release schedule!

[akaimizu]

For me, normally I'm always surprised when a Telltale game comes out. Perhaps there are some blogs I don't check out. But normally, I get an email from Telltale, letting me know it's ready first. That's when I find out.

[taumel]

I think Puzzle Agents has a slim chance of being the next Duke Nukem.
I blame the hidden people, they are hard to track down and don't agree on beeing integrated into the game. :O)

[Chyron8472]

I think this thread seems to be divided between the people who say that Telltale needs to be more communicative and those who say to just shut up and wait.

Regardless of how long they are taking, if they would explain why, then people wouldn't complain so much. Some of you say "they tell us when they know themselves." Why wouldn't they themselves know what the holdup is? They're the ones making it and could surely tell us what's going on.

Since their responses to such forum-related questions is either few and far between or at the very least has a long time to cook which gets people riled up about having no response until there actually is one, some people might consider that certain lack of being informative and/or punctual with such information as a lack of respect for the customer.

For example, there once was a thread or several about what kind of DRM was going to be on the ToMI DVD. Up until they made an official decision (which was in mid April, I think... back when the DVD release date was "in April"), there was little or no information given whatsoever from Telltale about the subject and it was given days and weeks to stew and get people to start making wild assumptions from lack of enough info. There are ways to avoid these sorts of things.

[jp-30]

They've said it'll be out in June. It is still June.

If it gets to the 1st July and the game is not released, THEN there will be grounds for grumbling like we've seen in this thread.

Telltale have released what, 20 or so games (?) ) and to the best of my knowledge only one so far has slipped slightly - one of the ToMI episodes - and the fact it had slipped was communicated clearly to the fans.

[taumel]

I suggest we get webcam support or some netview on the developers machines, then we know what's going on, best with switching between each employee, department and access to the projects folders, i mean just as a first shy step on the neverending road for more communication.

[SHODANFreeman]

Random whining.

They are never going to give up to the minute updates on production, and that's a ridiculous thing to expect. If they were a traditional company, we'd be waiting another entire year almost before we'd even be playing season three. Allow me to be blunt, the way I see it, you can either shut up and deal with it, or wait for the DVD release and pretend they don't do episodic games.

What the hell are you on about. That had nothing to do with my initial post or any posts before your one lol.

[oliversportfolio.com]

Um, they do release the games in the given day. It's just the, you know, timezones and all that...

So I don't agree.

Wasn't on about timezones dude.

I am patient and episodic games are excellent. The problem is total lack of any information beyond "urgh it is out in June" This = fobbing us off.

The "we will announce something special on the 25th" line from TTG's blog refers to their charity thing.

This is my point. Those of us who can't wait for the new episode would like just a bit more info. Something other than 1 trailer basically.

Anyway those of you who don't care for my post you are kidding yourselves because you all know that you wnt more information about release dates and game functionality and events (not spoilers) that take place in the games we all love. So don't try to get one over on me :D

They give us information when they have concrete information, why the hell should they be posting "hey guys, we're not done making the game yet" every other day just to make a couple of lunatics happy? Their current estimate is still June until further notice, if you don't want estimated dates, again, episodic gaming is not for you. They release the games the moment they're done, which can be a little hard to predict perfectly, but I think they've been pretty damn good at it thus far, so getting worked up over not knowing which week something will come out is just completely insane. Yes, we're excited for it, and we're glad that others are excited for it too, but acting like Telltale is being shady and deceiving you by not posting exact release dates and/or constant production updates, sorry, but that's just idiotic. They are all overworked and do it because they love the games they're making and they love their fans, and acting like an entitled little brat demanding constant status updates is rude. I will reiterate it for the 954th time, if you can't handle semi-vague release windows without flipping out and making insane accusations etc., episodic gaming is not for you.

OK, let's keep it civil in here, please.

No it's not.

Simply prepare yourself as if the game will be released on the final day of the release month. Then if it's released earlier, it's a nice bonus/surprise.

[SHODANFreeman]

That's as civil as I can get right now about this topic. :p

Lack of information? if they give you too much information it spoils the game and the information that doesnt spoil much they may not know yet

[adventureaddict]

I am getting a little antsy.. a simple 'we're working on it, sit tight' would tide me over.
On the other hand, the book of grickle arrived on my doorstep this morning, so I atleast have something to make the time go faster. :)

[Will]

we're working on it, sit tight

Yep.

Generally speaking, if we looked at the schedule and said "well there's almost no way June is going to happen," you would know about it. If we could say "yes, it is absolutely, 100% going to be finished and to our liking by X date" then we would announce the date. But weird things happen during development, especially working on an entirely untested art style, so it's better to play it safe than sorry.

I mean, we could have said "yes, it is definitely coming out on the 22nd," but then we'd either have a really unpolished game released to the public or a lot of really unhappy customers when we blew past the date.

[[TTG] Yare]

They release things as soon as they are able to

Science.

[taumel]

...sometimes just isn't enough and on top of that some voodoo comes in handy.

Btw there doesn't exist a lot of music which deals with science like maths or physics in the lyrics. *thinking*

[TrogLlama]

now HERES a argument everyone can agree with

The thing with VALVe isn't that they keep us in the dark about release dates, it's that they give us a date but then have to push it back.

It's kind of the opposite, really- Telltale doesn't give us a date until they know they can have it out that day, but VALVe gives us a date even though we all know they won't have it out by then. (And yes, I'm counting situations where they give us a timeframe instead of a date, then push that back (i.e. Portal 2).)

The next S&M episode is out next month, so he won't have to wait that long.

[brunner]

This is a pretty high quality problem for Telltale to have. "People can't wait to play your games." :-)

I'm looking forward to Puzzle Agent. I'm sure it'll be really fun.

[G.byrne]

He said a new iPad puzzle to keep him occupied while Sam & Max gets updated. Sam & Max has been delayed on the iPad for a while now. Telltale has it's hands full with all the games they are making.

I like the way telltale say it will be a certain month that they will have a game ready but can't they just say "hey guys puzzle agent is going really well, we should have it out by mid June, however this could change." Simple ...no?

I never said they had to make a day known to us and stick to it! All I said was can't they just talk to us more because episodic gaming is "as it comes" so tell us more about it "as it comes" instead of picking a month and making us wait with NO communication between announcing the release month and days before releasing the game. We would all appreciate it and telltale would generate even more buzz about their games.

By the way they arent giving info because they still dont know much yet they have stated 100 times if they know the release date, they will tell us.

I remember in sbcg4ap telltale gave us so much news and half of it didnt even matter(doing well, behind schedule a bit, brother chaps working well with us etc...) Just be patient and things will be fine. im pretty sure now that they are going to release it on the 30th just to anger those who complain like you.

I appreciate that we got the latest Sam&Max episode this soon, relative to PST, sadly i still haven't found enough time this week to play it all through and when there was some time, football won.

So personally, although i'm looking forward to the game as well, i'm kind of relaxed and dunno, as it's obvious that it will be released within the next days/hours, i would just give them a break, at least this time. ;O)

[Irishmile]

Yeah I am actually in no hurry either.... I just like photoshopping hidden people into pictures.... I think from now on when I post a picture of me here there may be one in it.

[taumel]

No problem and nicely done.

[jeeno0142]

I got my Book of Grickle today, it's really good! I wasn't expecting hardcover, but am rather glad it is as it's my preferred style. So now I'm all set for the game! Looking forward to it more than ever, at least 2 days to go! That said, if it doesn't make the june deadline, then I will not be disappointed as I much prefer a game that is perfect than one that has had a rush release!

[Wizpig]

if it doesn't make the june deadlineIt will ;) PC/Mac at least.
This much is confirmed.

Yeah as confirmed as Duke Nukem was for a release in 2006. Not that i cant wait, but just saying that telltale isnt bound to a releasedate.

[Toast_Burner]

Yeah as confirmed as Duke Nukem was for a release in 2006. Not that i cant wait, but just saying that telltale isnt bound to a releasedate.

Duke Nukem had the worst development in history.
They almost finished it then they said "hey lets start over with this slightly newer engine" and they did that every time a new engine came out.
Why didnt they just release the game then start making a sequel for the unreal engine?

[G.byrne]

Hey 2006 could very well still be the date.
Remember people TIMETRAVEL.

Duke: Who the Hell are you? My evil twin?
Duke: I'm you genius, only back in time... Aliens have travelled into Earth's past to change the future, I went back to fight them, but my time machine was destroyed. If you don't go back and make things right, Earth's history will be forever changed.
Duke: So much for my vacation time.

[jp-30]

Yeah as confirmed as Duke Nukem was for a release in 2006. Not that i cant wait, but just saying that telltale isnt bound to a releasedate.

The Telltale newsletter "The Interloper" came out a few days ago and they confirmed that the game will be released in June (though posts here indicate it will not be all channels right away. eg. Steam, and probably Wiiware).

[akaimizu]

I still like the fact that Duke Nukem Forever had the acronym DNF. Which also stands for Did Not Finish.

However, to pass the time, I actually watched some of the Grickle videos.
All I can say is, Wow.

They're either creepy or absolutely twisted (sometimes to the degree that as the plot continues, things get more twisted and twisted).

And I have to say, they're brilliantly done.

I'd imagine that Puzzle Agent will be a little more tame, but perhaps the creep factor will remain. Graham has a flair for that horror vibe and combined with an art-style almost typical of a light-hearted cartoon ('cept for them dramatic shadows. He could make broad daylight look like a horror set). I'm rather eager to find out how he puts that unique flair to the game. Should be quite interesting, indeed.

[Conor]

not sure to get it on wiiware or pc now... I'd be down for wiiware if they could confirm a release date when the pc one is out.

[G.byrne]

In addition to waiting for the release date, I'll have to wait for apples app approval process.

[LordKinbote]

Looking for clues on Nelson Tether's Facebook page, I conclude based on his movie preferences that the release is just "around the corner", "three days" from now.

Of course, he's a Beatles fan too, so maybe the game was released "yesterday" and we just didn't notice.

[NotFury]

Pick a month? that is not how telltale works.
By the way they arent giving info because they still dont know much yet they have stated 100 times if they know the release date, they will tell us.


All they do is give a vague date, like "coming soonish" or "June", then post nothing about it until right at the end of the month, only to say it's still "coming soon". The handling of the DVD's, Sam and max, and now this.

I could understand them missing dates and things once, but they do this with every game release. Surely they realise they're going to be delayed and aren't gonna hit these silly dates by now? Just set a date a few weeks later, and just have it finished a bit early, instead of triyng to release the second it's done. I'd rather have the game finished at Telltale and wait an extra week than be left in the dark for every single game/dvd that they make.

[SHODANFreeman]

I'd rather have the game finished at Telltale and wait an extra week than be left in the dark for every single game/dvd that they make.

I'd rather have the game the moment Telltale feels it's ready for release, and so would most people. People just like to complain about not knowing to have something to complain about. It's nonsense.

[Irishmile]

Yeah... it would be one thing if it was actually July already....

[corruptbiggins]

I doubt there'll be much notice before this is released (for Windows/Mac anyway) as it's not one of their main projects and it's not tied to a 3rd party who wants a clear release date set in advance of the release. I wouldn't be surprised if they just throw up a thread & blog post just saying it's out within the next couple of days.

[thom-22]

Maybe they're sick of the "OMG it's 4 am in Timbuktu and it's supposed to be released today WHERE IS IT?????" threads.

[LeChucksRingHole]

Not sure why some are having a fit about the release date, they said June and by my calander here in Australia it's still June. So far they have kept to the release date :)

What's the big deal if it's another week away? I'd rather a polished game that I can enjoy, go and do something constructive like walk the dog or enjoy the outdoors.

Unless it's snowing in your part of the world and your stuck inside in which case you can't or maybe your locked in a basement and all you have to look forward to is the release of a game. In which case I appoligise for my post... but think of it this way i just passed another 30 seconds for you which means you are now 30 seconds closer to the release date.

OK i better go now I think my copy of Puzzle Agent just arrived or it maybe the forum police coming to take me back to my warm dark padded cell. mmm warm and safe.

[jp-30]

I could understand them missing dates and things once, but they do this with every game release.

What? Has Puzzle Agent missed June?

wasn't Tales of Monkey Island the only series with an episode that was released late?

Not a Duke Nukem case here.

[corruptbiggins]

Which episode? and why did it miss the release date?

The final chapter of Tales was given as a November release at the start of the season, it actually came out on the 8th of December. It's probably because of that that the last episode of the current Sam & Max season doesn't have a month of release stated.

Mark Darin's facebook status read
"6 am and I am STILL working! I haven't slept yet, but video games must be made!!"

Poor Mark Darin :(

I would let the game slip a few days just to let the guy grab some kip

[akaimizu]

The only people *really* in the wait are the iPad owners. They got a taste of TellTale gaming and they had to literally wait months for the next one. This will be a much awaited release for them. The moment that pops up in the App Store, a collective sigh would probably emerge from a large public.

I'm glad I also have PC/Mac, I can finish up Someone stole Max's Brain while we wait. To a degree, I also haven't been speeding through it, to make it last. Still, if you like a bit of creepy, the Grickle stuff is a good to go through. Some of it is indicative of some kind of stop animation with horror. Other times, it gives almost an Edgar Allen Poe vibe with the flair for suspense. Poe was always big with characters that anticipate something bad is about to happen, and then go through the mental breakdown up until it does (or doesn't). I see some of that in some of the Grickle stuff.

2001 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDlB2P1leRM)
That was made by 3D realms.
But im sure puzzle agent wont be delayed by over 9 years

[akaimizu]

Then there's also Metro 3D. They were the ones that released the mega sleeper hit Armada. They talked about a sequel to it (Armada 2) since the Dreamcast days. And pretty much every machine released after it, there was promo material for it releasing on that system. And guess what. That delay was also over 9 years and still not out.

What we do finally have, is a beta of an Armada online game for PC only. Kind of snuck out there, all silent like. That might be a little less severe as Duke Nukem Forever, but I would say it's next in line only because there are people that can actually play an unfinished version of it.

I've seen delays on everything. A day or two is nothing, nor is a week. Though anybody who can remember back to the infamous Zelda delay, will have something to laugh about. Man, when it missed being in stores on that advertised release date, people had a cow. (Guess too many people altered their schedules to play it that day) Man, I forgot the days when Nintendo releases were like social phenomenon.

Yes, he deserve it.
He and all the TT staff that work as hard as he do.
And while we are here complaining for everything, he is away from his home and working hard to let you play videogames.

Nothing should keep you away from your family.

Hah, even the latest Zelda got delayed... :P

As for Puzzle Agent, a delay is nothing, I agree, and I'd be happier if it comes out as polished as it can be!
So if you ask me, it'd be ok if they decided to use a few more weeks... but that's not going to be the case, as everyone can see they updated the Puzzle Agent icon in the My Telltale section... and it will come out tomorrow for sure :D (PC/MAC)

I can't remember what the old icon looked like.

http://www.telltalegames.com/puzzleagent

The picture of "About" above the trailer was the old icon.

[SHODANFreeman]

Ocarina or Twilight Princess?

Twilight Princess had the worst reason ever for being delayed. They delayed the Gamecube release by over a year, when the game was already done and ready to release, just so they could port it to Wii and use it as a launch title. :mad:

[G.byrne]

Puzzle agent is a game that features overt brain teasing puzzles. The other games are adventure games whose puzzles are concealed behind game play mechanics.

I'm not making sense, lol... Example, monkey island and Sam & Max feature puzzles, but none of them take the form of rubicks cubes and things of that category.

I'm not making sense, lol...But you are.

Classic adventure games = Monkey Island, Sam & Max etc.
Brain-teasing adventure games = Layton, Puzzle Agent etc.
"Hidden objects" kind of games = dunno, but you know the drill, they are more casual-friendly.

I also feel a certain amount of loyalty to this company. Getting this game is a show of support. If Telltale didn't exist, I wouldn't have new Sam & Max and Monkey Island games... Two franchises five years ago I had no hope of seeing again.

I don't like it when telltale says "Coming June" or "Coming this month", and by this month they mean RIIIIIGHT at the end of it.

I see what you mean but in the end both games involve using your brain to solve puzzles. Its not like the difference between racers and shooters.

[SHODANFreeman]

I don't like it when telltale says "Coming June" or "Coming this month", and by this month they mean RIIIIIGHT at the end of it.

If they give any date whatsoever, you should always assume it will be the latest date possible, or maybe even slightly later. Assuming it'd be the beginning of the month means you will always be disappointed.

There is a thread to have your name changed actually, over there (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5942), but the person who was taking care of that left telltale recently so I don't know if anyone has replaced him in that job yet.
Still, that means it's possible to change it, although you can't do it yourself, I think you'd need an admin to do it.

[Yadda]

Puzzle Agent was just added to the 'Games' pulldown on the top of the Telltale website. So we're close.

Also, now the pulldown is so long that it cuts off. And the buttons link to all the wrong games, save Sam & Max. None of the buttons link to Puzzle Agent either. And SBCG4AP links to the more games page. You guys may want to fix that. Else it looks kinda unprofessional.

[Gman5852]

I fell its sage to say the PC/Mac version is coming out tomarrow if june is still the date.

Come on Nintendo add it to mondays list and you'll get $10 come on you can do it.

You're on. Winner is the first one to post in here that they downloaded it. Proof is in the 'file created on' times. No changing your system clock.

And I know that, NotFury. But it's not like a thousand people are doing it. It's only me and The Arse of LeChuck up there.

...No, no it has not been. They just finished it earlier today (the 29th. We're going by US time), from what I hear. Should be out tomorrow (the 30th).

They're not going to release and leave though. They always release when everyone is going to be in the office for several hours, so there can be support is case it's needed.

[Yadda]

RingHole, please, the G was clipped before. Don't change stuff retroactively like that. Especially since someone almost thought it was real. Even if I did fall for it, would it be worth risking Telltale losing sales and getting false bad PR?

[Toast_Burner]

Are telltale usually like this when releasing games?
But not knowing when its coming is making me even more hyped for it.

[jp-30]

Like 'what'?

[Toast_Burner]

Like 'what'?
Most Developers set an exact date. Telltale say "some time in June"
We only know its coming today because today is the last day of June

[KLind]

Most Developers set an exact date. Telltale say "some time in June"
We only know its coming today because today is the last day of June

Since Telltale doesn't have to submit to a publisher so discs can be printed, or anything like that, there aren't often definitive dates until like the week before release usually. It's pretty much a "When it's done" kind of thing. Puzzle Agent was done by a smaller team from my understanding, which obviously takes longer. It's a lot of game too, which requires a lot of work to make sure everything is working right.

Short answer: This doesn't happen every time, but when it does it's easy to understand why. It's normal to want the games they make as soon as possible, but the more time they spend making it great only benefits us gamers.

[Yadda]

Most Developers set an exact date. Telltale say "some time in June"
We only know its coming today because today is the last day of June

And because of all the hints that they've been dropping via Nelson's facebook page... And because Mark Darin said he's finally done... And...

Well, to be frank, they've done everything they can EXCEPT flat-out say the date that they can do to confirm that it's coming out today. :P

[Cyphox]

Most Developers set an exact date. Telltale say "some time in June"
We only know its coming today because today is the last day of June

They don't even say "some time in june", they just say it's "EXPECTED in june", that doesn't mean its definitely getting released in june at all.

[Will]

We usually have something a lot closer to a date than this. Usually we will say "June!" and then one or two weeks before launch we will say "Such and such day!" and then the game comes out that day.

For Puzzle Agent, one of the great things about the whole Pilot Program is that we get to try a whole bunch of new things with art and gameplay and such. The problem with new things is ... well... they are new! So we weren't entirely sure how long it would take to do them since we'd never done them before.

Im not complaining I just find it kinda funny that a game can come so close to release and still not have a set date.
As I said earlier its actually making me want the game more (Would I be posting on these forums if we knew when it comes out? probably not)

k guys u say that he finished now...so what about waiting for apple approval...they take more than a week...so what u mean by finished...finished approving or just finished the game and submitted it to apple?

[kebabi]

Purchases page says "Expected in June 2010", I really don't get it why so many people say it's a possibility to be June 2011. Yes, I know they're jokes, but still.

It's likely that the first version released will be PC via this site. Mac version may release at the same time. Wiiware, Steam etc will follow asap after that. The iPad version via the App Store may also be a little after the PC release.

So don't expect all versions to release simultaneously.

Monkey Island used to be released around 4 PM and W&G was a special case that came out during the morning, but going by everything else I think it will be around 6-8 PM, assuming nothing happens.

OH GODS... Can't wait for Puzzle Agent. It's ALMOST HERE... And I need that game to come out TODAY - tomorrow I'm leaving for a convention in Texas, and I want something to do on the flight.

My new computer is coming in the mail today, but the sound card doesn't arrive until tomorrow. And Friday, I get three teeth pulled, so I'll probably be too hopped up on painkillers.

But, hey, that might make the game more fun!

Possibly good news: there is an unusually large number of TTG employees on the forums right now. They are:
Will
Bonnie
MarkDarin
Bob
Blitzci
Katsuro
Brendan
Jake
Majus
Psy

Hopefully, this means it's almost done.

[Kaishen]

Puzzle Agent? Yes please!

[G.byrne]

While I'm excited about the possibility of this game being released today, I have to keep telling myself it will probably take over a week before it arrives in the ipad app store because of the apple approval process.

this was just posted in the waiting forum by Will:
Howdy puzzlers. It's almost certainly coming today, but it probably won't be before noon PST. So for those of you in Oz, don't wait up!

I'm sorry, but if I were in Oz, I wouldn't be doing much sleeping.

If you were in the poppy field, you would be.

I'm not referring the yellow brick road Oz... I'm talking about the "sleep with one eye open at all times" Oz.

[Powerlord]

Someone posted a fake screenshot of their Telltale Past Purchases with Puzzle Agent's field photoshopped. The Puzzle Agent serial code didn't even have the same background color as the rest of the area it was in, and was in the wrong font, etc...

[Spritz]

Well so far I love it. The style, the puzzles and the mood of the game. Congratz

[Yadda]

Waitaminute, RingHole. No Puzzle Agent for you until 48 hours from now, give or take.

[DAISHI]

I love the part about it where it tallies the dollars paid by the taxpayer :D

[Yadda]

No. No it doesn't count. 48 hours from release, timezone-adjusted.

[bo2loz]

[Pak-Man]

Well a full hour and 15 minutes before midnight hit US shores, we got our game. :^)

I find it hilarious that this thread shows up in the launcher for the game.

[Grismath]

Aaaand... done! Splendid work, TTG.

My only gripe is that the Audio Settings buttons did not seem clickable.

Is it bad I think I can tell what puzzles those notes are from? >_>

[Thespis]

They're sliders. You have to click and hold on the buttons and move them right and left.
